The Final Farewell

Am I ready to say goodbye

Shall I close all open doors?

There’s nothing left for me here any longer

Yet moving on will only make me stronger.

 

My mind is set, though my heart is weak

Trying to cut out all these emotions

Running so far away that I can never be found

I wish to leave without making a sound.

 

He sees me go, he tells me to stop

Taps my shoulder, but I refuse to look him in the eye

When I needed him the most, he was never there

Yet for some reason he believes I’m the one being unfair.

 

He sounds irritated and so bitter 

But underneath this tone, I can sense he’s hurt

I know he’s slowly breaking away

I know he needs me; he’s screaming for me to stay.

 

Unable to think straight

I try to ignore him and walk on ahead

He grabs my hand, I push him away

He’s crying, he’s begging me; but this is the price he must pay. 

 

In all this cacophony, in between comes a strange pause

We stop and stare at each other

He’s appears to be startled, so shocked

My taunting smile was to remind him of the girl that he once mocked.

 

I can clearly see the regret in his eyes

He looks down in shame

Nothing more needed to be said

The girl that sacrificed all she had for this worthless love is now dead.
